Bandstand Jazz Legend @ Wolf & Lamb
Submitted by: Wolf & Lamb on Feb 28th 2006
Wolf & Lamb is thrilled to welcome Sol Yaged this Wednesday night. Sol Yaged is truly a legend of New York. Sol Yaged has been a professional clarinet player since 1938. He was chosen as technical adviser for the movie The Benny Goodman Story (1956) and taught Steve Allen to play the clarinet for the film. Mr. Yaged turns back time, playing the same songs the same way he did a half-century ago. This is the Sol Yaged who hired the saxophonist Coleman Hawkins and the drummer Cozy Cole as sidemen and who wrote music for the film "The Benny Goodman Story," teaching Steve Allen to play the clarinet for the title role. Join this star pupil of the famous Benny Goodman for Jazz hits and music from the "Old Country".
